How To Keep California’s Forests Healthy and Reduce Fires

Wildfires seem to be getting bigger, more frequent and more
dangerous. Experts say that won't change this season or next,
unless the state and federal governments spend billions of dollars
more on thinning forests and making California communities more
resilient to fire. That would mean a big shift for foresters and
firefighters who've spent the past century working to preserve
timber and beating back the flames. But people who study fire say
that shift in thinking is long overdue. We'll talk about what it
would take to rework how California manages wildfires and forests.
